I haven't read the whole thread, but if you know your brother is a drug user and he is IN YOUR HOUSE, you are at risk!!! I know I have heard of vehicles and even homes seized by the police because of "drug activity", even if it isn't the vehicle's OWNER that is doing the activity, or the homeowner if it's a house.
Not to mention that his druggie friends might come over to share in his cool fortune, a nice place to live without much to do for it.
In the shorter term before you figure out what to do with HIM, I agree 100% on the dog: "CHAIN IT or I call Animal Control and have them pick it up." And tell him that if it is UNCHAINED and threatening your chickens or other livestock in ANY WAY, that you WILL SHOOT IT.
